Colombia-Daniel Hernandez - Chiroso

Our first Chiroso selection of the new season comes from none other than our first partnership with a producer in Urrao! Daniel Hernandez should be a familiar name to those who have been with us for a while now, as this is the third season in a row we have featured his coffee. 

It is a joy to be a few seasons in to working with the same coffee from a producer, and to have a window into how the coffee has expressed itself over time. We have loved Daniel's Chiroso since the very first time we cupped it blind. It has always had a reverberating orange citrus about it. This season, the coffee is easily the most fruit-forward, while the fruit presentation is also the most complex of any lot yet. This season the coffee presents an array of sunset-colors in the fruit realm - classic navel orange we have come to always expect from Daniel's coffee, bright strawberry, summery peach, as well as a yellow tropicality. Also worth pointing out is that none of the fruit character leans into overripe or fermented qualities. This, as I should conclude is the "fruity washed coffee" lover's dream scenario. 

We are committed to bringing in Daniel's coffee every season, and thrilled that the new one has finally come!
